Ana
Hello, I’m Ana, I’ve been living in Australia as student since March 2016. I have always had pets. When I was a little child my parents gave me a cat and I had a dog that I looked after too, I loved it! I’ve had many experiences with pets all my life, living with me and my family. Since I came to Australia I haven’t had a pet and I have missed this contact. That’s why I’m a House and Pet Sitters team member, I really appreciate being able to look after pets and help people. My first house and pet sitter experience in Australia was January 2017 and it was lovely. Being a sitter has taught me how important it is to be kind and patient with pets. When they don’t know you it is fundamental to follow all their routines. I’m gentle with animals and respect them and in return the families trust me to stay at the houses with their precious pets.

Hello, I’m Aline, I grew up with cats and dogs and really love them. I enjoy taking care of pets and giving them lots of cuddles and love.
I started with House and Pet Sitters in April 2017 and believe the role is a great fit for me. The way I relate to looking after someone’s precious pet is that it is my job to make sure they are happy. So, we have fun all the time by going out for walks or just relaxing under a tree. Simple things make me feel extremely happy.

Hi, I’m Marilia, I started house and pet sitting about March 2017 because I miss my animals from my parent’s farm, back in Brazil.
I love taking care of pets, I always learn a lot from their personality because they are all so different. Like us as human beings, all similar but inside, very different. That’s what makes me passionate about pet sitting. The love I have found in this relationship between animals and us is indescribably beautiful.
Pat & Don
We first housesat for a friend of ours who went overseas and liked it so much we approached Jenny at House and Pet Sitters about being regular sitters. That was December 2014 and the rest is history.
Being HPS sitter is great for a number of reasons, firstly, Jenny is ‘mint’ and the clients are fabulous people. Add the pets and bingo, you have a winner. We find that if you treat the people, their pets and house as your own, you can’t go very far wrong.
The photo is Pat with Obama and Rocky, these full brothers have just turned seven – where’s Don you ask, well he took the photo claiming a photo of him would send everything blank – lol.

I’m a self-employed Repetiteur (how many people know what that is?) I have been a HPS sitter since January 2015.
I enjoy being of service to people; the companionship of their pets and the interactions with other dog owners on walks. The variety of living in different places and exploring different areas also appeals to me.
Sarah
I really like animals so when the opportunity came along to be able to have (however temporarily) a pet, I jumped at the chance.
I have been a HPS sitter since April 2015. I enjoy the satisfaction of knowing pets are the primary focus of care and attention, and thus happier. It’s wonderful to have someone who’s always happy to see you.
Plus, I get to meet new people/animals and being a sitter expands my knowledge of other areas of Perth.
Jenny
Jenny Hodder is WA born and bred and although she has worn many hats throughout her career, one constant has been her love of, and affinity for, animals. She established House and Pet Sitters after realising her passion for animals could be combined with helping others.
Jenny is extremely proud of the exceptional service she and her team of Sitters have created and feel blessed by the number of special people and pets she has come across over the years. They truly are her second family, which is why the Star Gallery and Facebook pages hold so many photographs!
Denize & Felipe
We both had lovely dogs and cats back home, so we really miss our pets. We feel they are part of our families and also how great is the environment when they are around?
We have been house and pet sitting in WA since October 2015. We really love animals. It is priceless to know we have this opportunity with House and Pet Sitters to take care of them around Western Australia. As well as getting to know different areas around Perth. We have been meeting great people and families around, so it has been such a great experience for us!
